    Default side trip at spyderfest? for Little House fans

    Anybody a fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder? Her home and museum is only about 50 miles east of Springfield. I'm planning on a side trip to see it, probably on Friday of Spyderfest, and would welcome company.

    There is evidently more than one museum, with one in Minnesota. We were driving from Minneapolis to Tracy (south west part of Mn) a few years ago and there were signs everywhere for the home & museum in Walnut Grove, Mn. Thought we could make a detour on the way home to see our friends, but my geography was 'just a bit off'...

    My maps say it is 156 miles. I live about 30 miles from there. I went to PITBULLS grand opening and it was 185miles to Springfield for me. The museum I am thinking offis southwest of Independence KS on hwy 75.

    Her home and museum is in either Mansfield or Marshfield Mo, I never can remember which maybe one of her fans will help me out, anyway I'm thinking probably less than 30 miles from Springfield.
    Happy Owner

    Default Hello

    I can't believe there is another person that is into Spyders as well as Little House on the Praire. Wish we could go but as we live in Florida , it would be a hell of a long ride!
    Would consider trailering bike if Mrs. Olsen was there.

    The program Little House, was supposed to have taken place in SW Minnesota--they were always going to Minneapolis or St. Paul to take care of business.

    The home near Spyderfest is the home of the author of the Little House stories. Hence two museums in different places.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Laura Ingalls Wilder's home was in Mansfield MO, that's where she wrote the books.

    I went to the Ingall's homestead in De Smet SD so they moved around a lot.
